TopoPSA

Topological polar surface area (TPSA)

WTPT4

Sum of path lengths starting from oxygens

WTPT5

Sum of path lengths starting from nitrogens

SaaN

Sum of atom-type e-state: N

SsOH

Sum of atom-type e-state: –OH

minHBint2

Minimum e-state descriptors of strength for potential hydrogen bonds of path length 2

AATS0i

Average Broto-Moreau autocorrelation − lag 0/weighted by first ionization potential

Centered Broto-Moreau autocorrelation − lag 1/weighted by first ionization potential

maxHBa

Maximum e-states for (strong) hydrogen bond acceptors

nHBAcc
